Installation (cont'dl
10. Align the marks on the cylinder head plug to thecylinder head upper surface, then install the cylin,
der head plug in the cylinder head.
PLUGReplace.
Install the timing belt (see page 6-63).
Adjust the valve clearance (see page 6-61).
Install the head cover gasket in the groove of the
cylinder head cover. Seat the recesses for the
camshaft first, then work it into the groove around
the outside edges,
NOTE:
. Before installing the head cover gasket, thorough-ly clean the head cover gasket and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the head cover gasket
is seated securely in the corners of the recesses
wrrn no gap.

14. Apply liquid gasket to the head cover gasket at theeight corners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore applying liquid gasket
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or morehave elapsed since applying tiquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing oldrestdue.
. After assembly. wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

15. When installing the cylinder head cover, hold the
head cover gasket in the groove by placing your fin-
gers on the camshaft holder contacting surfaces
(toD of the semicircles).
Once the cylinder head cover is on the cylinder
head, slide the cover slightly back and forth to seat
the head cover gasket.
NOTE:
. Be{ore installing the cylinder head cover, clean
the cvlinder head contacting surfaces using a
shoP towel.
. Oo not touch the parts where liquid gasket was
applied.
. Replace any washer taht is damaged or deter'o-
rated.

16. Tighten the nuts in two or three steps. In the final
step, tighten all nuts, in sequence, to 9 8 N'm {1 0
kgf.m, 7.2 lbf.ft).
NOTE: After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes
before filling the engine with oil.
After installing, check that all tubes' hoses and con-
nectors are installed correctly.17.

Glearance
1.To check main bearing-to-journal oil clearance.
remove the main caps and bearing halves.
Clean each main journal and bearing half with a
clean shop towel.
Place one strip of plastigage across each main jour-
na l.
NOTE: lf the engine is still in the car when you bolt
the main cap down to check clearance, the weight
of the crankshaft and flvwheel will flaften the plasti-
gage further than just the torque on the cap bolt.
and give you an incorrect reading. For an accurate
reading, support the crank with a jack under the
counterweights and check only one bearing at a
time,
Reinstall the bearings and caps, then torque the
bolts.

1.Using a piston, push a new ring into the cylinderbore 15 - 20 mm (0.6 - 0.8 in) from the bottom.
Measure the piston ring end-gap with a feeler gauge:
. lf the gap is too small, check to see if you have
the proper rings for your engine.. lf the gap is too large. recheck the cylinder borediameter against the wear limits on page 7-16,
lf the bore is over the service limit, the cvlinderblock must be rebored.

1.Using a ring expander. remove the old piston rings.
Clean all ring grooves thoroughly.
NOTE:
. Use a squared-off broken ring or ring groove
cleaner with blade to fit piston grooves.
o Top ring groove is 1.0 mm (0.039 in)wide.. Second ring groove is 1.2 mm (0.047 in) wide.. Oil ring groove is 2,8 mm (0.11 in) wide.. File down the blade if necessary.
CAUTION: Do noi use a wire blush to clean ringlands. or cut ring lands deepol with cleaning tool.
NOTE: lfthe piston is to be separated from the con-necting rod, do not install new rings yet.
3. Install new rings in the proper sequence and posi-
taon (see page 7-22).
NOTE: Do not reuse old piston rings.
